Massenet explains that `C´est un malade qui vous remercie - oui, je suis malade d´un gros rhume et je me désole de l´inaction dans laquelle je me trouve depuis 8 jours - je n´ai pas la consolation de votre gentile visite.. comme autrefois..´ ( Translation: `It is an ill man who thanks you - yes, I am ill with a big cold and I feel so sorry for the inaction in which I have been for the last 8 days - I do not have the consolation of your kind visit.. as it used to happen…´ Massenet further deeply thanks his correspondent and states in part `J´étais moi-même fort souffrant lorsque l´on m´a appris, dans ma chambre, cette nouvelle si inattendue…´ (Translation: `I was myself very unwell when I was told, in my room, this so unexpected news...´) Together with A.N.S., Jul Massenet, signed twice, one page, 12mo, to a French paper postcard, Paris, 16th November, to Mme Marthe Chassang, in French. Massenet sends a short message feeling sorry and suggesting a meeting the day after. VG and G, 2
